“The markets have gone from where we're at an all time high. In fact, yesterday, we hit another all time high. I think it's 84 times now. We're at 84 times since a little bit more than a year and a half. Have all time high stock markets.”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
S&P 500 recorded 38 all-time closing highs in 2025 and approximately 27 through late August 2026, totaling ~65 highs since Trump's January 2025 inauguration. The 84 figure exceeds documented counts for this period.
The claim of 84 all-time highs overstates the documented count. Sources confirm 38 in 2025 and ~27 in 2026 (through August), totaling approximately 65 highs since January 2025.
